This match, Nadal lost to the youth and the monster of the 19 -year -old junior. Because in many balls, Rafa Nadal has repeatedly judged wrongly. The most typical is the ball in game 3, set 2.
This defeat caused the 36 -year -old tennis player to admire. He shared after the match: “At the beginning of the match, it was really complicated because in his first two serve, I thought he had done two breaks, and then I had a few chances.
I think I will have to play with a proper attitude and careful analysis of what I have to do to create opportunities for myself and to improve my style. But I couldn't do it today. “
Although unfortunately, but Nadal still congratulated his juniors about this victory: “Congratulations to him. He is maintaining great performance and I wish him the best in the rest of the tournament.”
“He was 19 years old. His birthday was yesterday. And I, I was 36 years old. Of course it was a generation transfer. Nothing was surprising, I only accept it naturally with calm.”
“I had better days, I had worse days. But it was not a disaster in any case. I just thought I had played with the right attitude.”
